If you are unfortunate enough to never have had a massage and have been too embarrassed to ask, let me guide you through a typical treatment.

Meet and greet

Your therapist will greet you on arrival and ask you to fill out a form.

Getting ready

After a brief discussion the therapist will explain the procedure and type of massage and leave the room so you can get undressed to your underwear, lie down on the massage table and cover yourself with a towel. When you are ready the therapist will re-enter the room , cover you with more towels and make sure you are comfortable.

Modesty

Appropriate professional draping is used at all times and only areas currently being massaged will be uncovered. If you are self-conscious about a certain body area, excessive hair growth,acne or scars etc you can ask the therapist to avoid that area, but please remember that your therapist is a professional and fully trained in making you feel safe and comfortable. You should not miss out on the benefits of a massage because you’re self-conscious.

zzz!

If you doze off during a massage or snore or drool, please do not feel embarrassed. It is very common! Indeed it is a compliment to any therapist if you feel that relaxed during a therapeutic massage.

All done

Upon completion of the massage the therapist will leave the room and let you get dressed in your own time.

Q&A

If you have any questions at all before, during or after the massage, please feel free to speak to your therapist who will happily answer any questions.
